Here are my forecasts for the Wimbledon women’s draw. Despite Maria Sharapova’s performance at the French, my ranking system still has her third, behind both Serena and Azarenka. Also, you might also be surprised by the significant chance I give Kim Clijsters. While she hasn’t played much, she’s played well, and my system operates on the assumption that if someone takes the court, she is doing so fully healthy. (Or, at least, as healthy as she’s been other times she took the court.)

I’ll post men’s odds later today, and the forecast will be updated throughout the tournament–I’ll post those links when I have them, probably mid-day Tuesday.
